Kelsi went from being a beautiful girl next door, to being a totally edgy "I don't care what you think" kind of girl. I love the transformation, and I wish I could do stuff like this every day!

//makeover//
Today I got the opportunity to totally transform someone's look! I love these kind of days! It's always so interesting to me how much you can change the way a person looks just by changing their hair! I feel that hair says so much about a someone, and who they are, and what's important to them.

F A S H I O N + F I T T N E S S
This picture (although it was taken just for fun) is a really great mash up of two big areas of my life. Fashion and fitness. I am almost equally interested and invested in both areas. I am a hair stylist, which is obviously a part of fashion world, but I am definitely interested in all aspects of fashion.
On the other hand, my husband, Zac is a personal trainer, and crossfit coach. So, I find my self at the gym training at least 4 days a week, and I love it!
I know that the two worlds don't generally mix too well, and they both have distinct reputations that tend to be very opposite of each other at times.
In the fashion industry, its usually if you're not a size 00, 6 feet tall and weigh 90lbs, then you're overweight, and not "sexy" in their eyes. But I think a new wave of fitness, and the way people are looking at it, is going to really change how people view what is considered "sexy".
There have already been thousands of pics and posts going around proclaiming "strong is sexy" or "strong is the new sexy/skinny". This makes me happy. It's makes me feel like women are gaining more and more confidence about themselves, and realizing that being "skinny" is not the end all, be all to being considered "pretty" or even "fashionable". Women are realizing that they can do more, and possibly be something or someone they never imagined they'd be. And they can look good and be healthy in the process. It's all quite liberating actually. I'm stronger, and healthier than I've ever been, but yet I am more girly/ fashion forward than I've ever been as well.
I think what it comes down to is, when you feel good about the way you look, and you're taking care of yourself and making healthier decisions, you feel better and more confident about everything else in life. You are able to focus energy on other things you love (such as fashion) because you just feel good, and look good too! And then maybe you can squat with YOUR bootie heels on too! ;0)

R O E---->>> //fish tacos//
Have you experienced Roe yet? My husband @ruizbeast (Zac) and I meet for lunch almost every Thursday, and lately it's been at our new favorite fresh seafood place- Roe! It's located on 2nd st. in Long Beach! They have lots of different kinds of fresh fish available everyday, and you get to choose what kind of fish you want in your tacos! We've tried sea bass, and mahi, but this week we decided on shrimp. They have all been delicious so far, and next week we want to try salmon! But our meal would not have been as enjoyable without their AAAmazing sweet potato fries that are toped with garlic and Parmesan cheese and dipped in a chipotle mayo sauce! Mmmm so yummy! And the prices are pretty reasonable! Check it out!
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Some times I love my job. A couple days ago I was asked to do a Audrey Hepburn/ Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired Updo for my good friend @sparklemaggs (Maggie). Her cousin was throwing her a graduation party, and decided on that theme, because Maggie adores Audrey Hepburn. So Maggie, being Maggie, came in totally prepared with an exact replica of Audrey's tiara and all! She and her lovely husband had their outfits planned out to a T! The two of them couldn't have looked more charming together!
